Many older patients have synovial cysts in their lumbar spines but have no symptoms. Occasionally, however, these cysts can cause pain in the lower back that travels down the legs. The pain is relieved when sitting as this position widens the spinal canal and relieves pressure on the nerves. A synovial cyst can be seen on a. MRI.
Whatâs that you say? Cramping is an early pregnancy symptom? Many women think that cramping is a sign that Aunt Flo (your menstrual period) is surely on her way but itâs actually one early sign of pregnancy. As your embryo implants into your uterus you might notice some cramping. It can easily be mistaken for PMS or menstrual cramps.
Many women do not encounter any early pregnancy symptoms. A missed or late period are one of the first signs these women experience. A period that is a week late can be a serious surprise. Most of the earliest symptoms are very vague. It is easy to confuse a mild stomach bug or pre-menstrual cramping as signs of pregnancy. If you believe that you are pregnant, see a doctor for a blood test to officially confirm it.
